Evaluation

(string x) -> list

The function splits a string using a separator. The split parts of the string are returned as a list of strings.

Name Type Description

Name	Type	Description
Separator	string	The separator to use
Split by Regex	boolean	If `true`, separator is interpreted as a regular expression.
Limit	long	The limit setting controls how many parts to produce, and how to handle trailing empty strings: If `limit == 0` then the separator will be applied as many times as possible, the resulting parts list can have any length, and trailing empty strings are discarded. If `limit > 0` then the separator is applied at most limit times. The resulting parts list’s length is no greater than the given limit, and the list’s last entry will contain all characters beyond the last matched separator. If `limit < 0` or if limit is `nil` then the separator will be applied as many times as possible and the resulting parts list can have any length. Traling empty strings are preserved.

The separator to use

boolean

If true, separator is interpreted as a regular expression.

long

The limit setting controls how many parts to produce, and how to handle trailing empty strings:

If limit == 0 then the separator will be applied as many times as possible, the resulting parts list can have any length, and trailing empty strings are discarded.
If limit > 0 then the separator is applied at most limit times. The resulting parts list’s length is no greater than the given limit, and the list’s last entry will contain all characters beyond the last matched separator.
If limit < 0 or if limit is nil then the separator will be applied as many times as possible and the resulting parts list can have any length. Traling empty strings are preserved.
